Simile Contest

Those who entered the 2003 Loella Cady Lamphier Prize for Poetry contest found the competition was as stiff as a February wind.
Don't like that simile? Then vote for the Simile of your choice, as suggested by 4 creative poets below.

1. The competition was as stiff as a wishbone.

2. The competition was as stiff as January's wash frozen on the line.

3. The competition was as stiff as a dead body in a bag on a cold winter's morn.

4. The competition was as stiff as green is ground, and ground, often brown; as cliché is truth, and truth, nearly sound; as weather is temperament, and feeling, profound-in short, we left with what bullshit we came with, and one person crowned.
